Abstract: According to an embodiment, a radiation detection device includes a scintillator layer, a plurality of detectors, a setting unit, an identifier, and a corrector. The scintillator layer is configured to convert radiation into scintillation light. The detectors are arranged along a first surface facing the scintillator layer to detect light. The setting unit is configured to set one of the detectors as a first detector to be corrected. The identifier is configured to identify, out of the detectors, a second detector that detects a synchronization signal synchronizing with a first signal detected by the first detector. The corrector is configured to correct an energy spectrum of light detected by the first detector on the basis of a second signal serving as the synchronization signal in signals detected by the second detector, the first signal, and characteristic X-ray energy of a scintillator raw material constituting the scintillator layer.

Abstract: An image forming system according to one embodiment of the present invention has a user authentication mode for granting only authorized users a setting change for an image forming apparatus. This image forming apparatus 200 includes a user authentication section 203 to perform authentication on receiving user information from a host computer 100. The image forming apparatus 200 also issues an authentication key for an authorized user and sends the key to the host computer 100. The host computer 100 sends a changed setting and the authentication key to the image forming apparatus 200, whereby making the setting change swiftly. This structure makes it possible to address a problem with related art systems that send user information every time a setting is changed and send a changed setting only when a user is deemed to have authority where authentication is redundant and time consuming.

Abstract: An automatic installation system for printer drivers including a network; at least one printer connected to the network; a printer driver database unit which has a printer driver database and connected to the network; and a terminal connected to the at least one printer via the network, wherein the terminal is adapted to obtain a printer driver from the printer driver database, to install the printer driver, and to set configurations regarding connection and printing when a user selects one of the at least one printer from a list thereof displayed on the terminal based on printer information obtained from the at least one printer, and in a case in which a printer driver is not installed in the terminal or in a case in which a printer driver that has been installed needs to be updated.

Abstract: A management includes an acquiring unit for acquiring information of specifying a target virtual storage in a target storage pool and an expansion storage capacity to be acquired from another storage pool other than the target storage pool, and a determining unit for determining the real storage to be used for the expansion storage capacity of the target virtual storage from candidate one of the real storages in the another storage pool, which are under the control of the controller in charge of the real storage that the target virtual storage is defined, on the basis of an occupied storage capacity defined as the virtual storage on the real storage in the another storage pool and a free storage capacity of the real storage in the another storage pool.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for production of non-uracil-requiring flocculant alcohol-fermenting yeast, comprising a step of introducing the Saccharomyces cerevisiae-derived URA3 gene only at one of the two LEU2 loci on the chromosomes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain FSC27 (FERM P-16023).

Abstract: An input apparatus and an input control method are provided that enable the confirmation of an operation state using speech each time an operation key is depressed and enable the execution of distributed functions using a straightforward operation. A plurality of functions is allocated to a numeric keypad, and audio is outputted for the operation state by way of the numeric keypad from an audio output section every time an operation function changes. A function just previous to operation of the numeric keypad can, therefore, be decided by using a setting key, and control may be carried out by a control unit.

Abstract: A method, program product, and system to provide an image processing system which allows the user to utilize a function of an image processing device with operation through another image processing device without implementing a large scale of modification on the device. The image processing system includes a service use device, a service provision device, and a management server which are connected to a communication network. The system can include more than one service provision device. The service use device transmits to the management server a service request signal which corresponds to a service selected by the user and image data. The management server transmits to the service provision device a service execution command signal corresponding to the received service request signal and the image data. The service provision device processes the received image data according to the received service execution command signal.
